MIRRECO has developed an above ground, carbon capture, utilisation and storage technology, which utilises hemp along with proprietary polymers and an innovative manufacturing process to store CO2 in construction and other products. Learn more on their website http://mirreco.com/

According to reports, the mushroom’s plastic-devouring properties were first discovered in 2011, when a team of Yale undergraduates and their professor traveled to Ecuador for a research trip. They found the mushroom, microspora, in the amazon and were astounded to find that the fungus not only subsists on polyurethane (it’s the first plant to sustain itself only on plastic), but could do so without oxygen. That means it could be planted at the bottom of landfills and happily eat its fill of plastic for eons to come! https://www.newsweek.com/2014/12/26/plastic-eating-fungi-could-solve-our-garbage-problem-291694.html

SoilCQuest have an amazing seed technology which can sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide. This has the added benefit of improving soil health by increasing soil carbon levels which in turn promotes plant growth. This unique technology was discovered by examining the traits of plants that thrived in harsh environments. Find out more here https://www.soilcquest.org.au/

FutureFeed can improve farm profitability and tackles climate change. It produces more food without affecting the environment. FutureFeed can also provide farmers access to other income streams through carbon markets and provide access to premium niche markets through a low carbon footprint. FutureFeed has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/Accelerate2/FutureFeed

Grover Scientific is an innovative method to extract DNA directly from a water sample without having to catch the target organism. This eDNA Pump makes field sampling affordable to researchers, managers and citizen-scientists alike with a more reliable and cost-effective approach for environmental monitoring of aquatic resources. Grover Scientific has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO.http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/ON-Accelerate4-Teams/Grover-Scientific

Goterra takes food waste and feeds it to a specific breed of fly larvae before turning the larvae into protein-rich feed for livestock. This insect farm is run automatically. It’s in a modular unit, which can be placed onsite for effective, safe management without the expensive transport or trucking associated with other food waste management systems. https://www.goterra.com.au

SkyCAM System is a state of the art solar forecasting platform. Driven by computer vision and cutting edge algorithms, the system delivers tailored, local and relevant forecasts for your system. SkyCAM significantly reduces costs and the use of diesel usage by a minimum of 15 per cent. Savings of up to 30 per cent can be achieved with SkyCAM with 99 per cent forecast accuracy. SkyCAM has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/ON-Accelerate4-Teams/Cloud180CAM

Marine Visual Technologies supports sustainable fisheries management. They offer rapid, real-time event detection and species identification with automated video analysis. Their technology reduces labour costs associated with observation of fishery catches.

It only took one photo on a farm that was posted on Instagram, for the sunflowers they grow to become a social media hit. The owners have since had tourists from Japan, China and Brazil make the trip out to the property, and particularly from Singapore. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-05-04/insta-farming-has-businesses-booming-at-sunflower-farm/11049998

Bee Innovative has developed BeeDar, a radar like sensor for bees which is able to identify, track and report bee pollination activity across the orchard and field in near real time. Bee Innovative then provides this critical information to farmers to help increase yield and value. Bee Innovative is also developing a real time biosecurity platform to protect Australian pollinated agriculture worth $6 Billion annually from Varroa destructor which has decimated honeybee populations around the world. Bee Innovative’s frontline biosecurity platform includes BeeID, a facial recognition technology for bees. Bee Innovative is passionate about increasing global food production and defending Australia from Varroa destructor. Bee Innovative has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Accelerate5-Teams/Bee-Innovative

Adaptive Eggs identifies “male eggs” when they are laid avoiding the costly and undesirable culling practices in the egg laying industry. The incentive to adopt Adaptive Eggs breakthrough technology comes from the simultaneous elimination of economic losses associated with the incubation, hatch and cull of day old male layer birds and the potential conversion of this waste stream into novel value-added bio-products. Adaptive Eggs has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Accelerate5-Teams/Adaptive-Eggs
